REVIEWED BY: Marissa B.

     The story is about Harry Potter, a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, participating in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. The thing that is very suspicious is that only 6th years can put their name in the Goblet of Fire that will choose one student from each school, but Harry's name got chosen and he is only a 4th year. He doesn't know half of the things he needs to do, so his friends, Hermione and Ron, help Harry any way they can. Mad-Eye Moody, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, is one that helps Harry to get out of the stuff that he needs to do. In the story, Harry has to get a golden egg that is being guarded by a fierce dragon. He ends up getting the Golden Egg with only a few scratches. Hermione is a "dictionary" full of spells that could help anyone. Harry is very lucky to have friends that could help him.

     It is extremely easy to relate with the characters in the book. I could relate to Harry because he has friends that he could count on and I do to. I could relate to Hermione because she is a person that people could come to for help and people know they could come to me. I could relate to  Ron because he isn't that smart and doesn't always knows the answers to everything like Hermione does.  J. K. Rowling makes the characters easy to relate to and that is why I love her books.

      This book is awesome and I think it will get better as I read more. My favorite part so far is the tasks that Harry has to compete in for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. I don't have a least favorite part of this book because it is one that I can't put down. If I could change any part in the book I would change, well, nothing. This is one of the best books I have ever read.

       I would totally recommend this to all ages. This is a book that is full of excitement and adventure. Nobody knows what is going to happen next. This has some content that younger kids may not understand, so they should read it with parent and make it a "family" book. J.k. Rowling is a great author and everyone should read her books.
